Nail Art Tutorial: "Hawaiian Grimace" Nails

Good morning everyone! It's Humpy Wednesday and I need all the boost of positivity today as everyone's on "no work" day and I have work today! It's the inauguration of our new president and I do apologize that I forgot to paint my nails Yellow (the color of our new president). But to make it up, I will show you my inspiration for this week! I know, the title is the funniest ever, but what can I do? Grimace is my favorite McDonalds character ever! I remember seeing this cute li'l Grimaceat McDonald's in Macau and I wasn't able to purchase this because of long lines! I took a shot of this instead. Adding a touch of Nikki = craziness, I put a cute flower on Grimace's cute face just like how I did on my banner photo!

And here's my nails inspired by Grimace

Step 1:

Prior to polish application, apply a base coat to protect your nails. Apply 2 coats of ELF polish in Royal Purple (thanks Toma) and let dry.

Step 2:

Apply a clear coat on top of the polish color, while dry...

Step 3:

Create flowers by dropping 5 dots of white Prettynails' 2 Way Nail Art Pen. Adding tiny dots for design. Just like photo below

Step 4:

Use needle to create a petal

Step 5:

Since I wanted two-toned florals. I dropped a pink dot on top of the white dots using Pink Prettynails 2 Way Nail Art Pen.

Step 6:

Similar to step 4, use a needle to create a more believable flower petal! Make sure to do this while the dots are still wet!

Step 7:

You can use rhinestones as flower bud, but I prefer using my Prettynails 2 Way Nail Art Pen in silver glitter and drop it in the middle of 5 petals. I tried to steer away from rhinestones this time!
